This privately owned earth dam stands at a height of 14 feet and has a storage capacity of 76 acre-feet. The dam, designed by Stone, has a low hazard potential and a moderate risk assessment rating.
Despite not being state regulated or permitted, Stone Irrigation Pond Dam plays a crucial role in providing water for irrigation in the region. Its uncontrolled spillway and outlet gates contribute to its efficient water management system. The dam, situated in the Savannah District, has not been inspected since 1988, but its condition is reported as not rated, highlighting the need for further assessment and potential risk management measures to ensure its long-term safety and functionality for the surrounding area's water resource and climate needs.
